How do I export Design Projects?

Design Control Module Administrators and, optionally, Project Managers, may batch export Design Projects to a directory on the Grand Avenue web server.

Export Design Projects

Prerequisites

• Grand Avenue version 15.6 or later

• Click Configure Design Control → Configure Design Control Process Options and set “Enable Export of Project Files” to Yes.

  • GAS Version 15.6 and Later: Design Control Module Administrators are able to export Design Project files once “Enable Content Export to Server” is set to Yes and a “Server Export Directory” is Defined (refer to steps above). At 15.6, the “Enable Export of Project Files” was updated to “Allow Project Manager to Export Design Project to Server.” This will allow Project Managers to also export design projects to the server.
